Basically, if you have an 10g oms Server (any OS / any release) and aix agents (any release), and according to Note 1171558.1, communication between [10g] Oracle Management Service and [AIX] Management Agents will break due to a default self-signed certificate expiring in 31 Dec 2010.

There is more than one way to solve this

1) you upgrade your oms to 11g. Good luck to do this before end of year…
